Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

“The instant feedback from Steam players allows us to reshuffle our priorities during development to make an even better game. During the Early Access period the game will most certainly contain a selection of bugs, glitches, and issues that can impact a traditional game experience. If you do buy the game and come across something odd, please tell us in the forums.”

“In Early Access you will be able to drive, explore and trade throughout Germany & the CSFR. Already, the player can make changes to their vehicle with millions of combinations available to affect vehicle performance. As we progress through Early Access we plan to let the player drive through 1990’s renditions of Hungary, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Turkey. Early Access will be an insight into the core mechanics of Jalopy and from here we plan to build around this core with feedback from the community.”

Wat is de huidige staat van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

“The game contains all final countries planned for the final game. Players can upgrade their car, purchase new components, scavenge for items and drive back to the starting area once they reach the final destination.”

“Once we get into Early Access we’re going to be looking at the most important features within the first week or two of release. From here we will create a development roadmap so that everyone can visualise where the game is heading and can get involved. Of course, do say hi to us in the Steam forums and let us know your thoughts on the game.”

We're still handling the localisation of Jalopy, of which 14 have been completed. Though there are also an additional half a dozen which are still being completed.

Today's update fixes a long standing bug where after a certain period of time you are no longer able to pick up objects. I'd like to thank everyone who gave us feedback and information on when it had happened. We were contacted by email with a 100% repro rate and in that case we have fixed and addressed. Thanks to everyone who has been waiting patiently for this fix.

Now that the uncle has returned to Jalopy, talking away and telling you his story. We felt it would be best to translate the game so more players are able to enjoy his ramblings and the narrative. Plus, we really would like to see what “OOOF!” looks like when translated to several other languages.

The community has been great in providing us with feedback and reporting bugs (Yes, we’re still on the case with some of those pesky buggers!) and we would like to continue the collaboration to help improve the game further. We’ve had several players offer to help us volunteer to translate the game into their language and we are at a stage where translation will make a lot of sense.

We’re looking for your help in translating Jalopy into as many languages as possible. We’ve handpicked 13 key languages but wish to add more in the future.

Over dit spel

***JALOPY IS AN EARLY ACCESS TITLE. THE GAME IS IN A CONSTANT STATE OF IMPROVEMENT AND IS NOT FINISHED. PURCHASING THE GAME NOW WILL HELP SUPPORT THE GAME AND WILL ALLOW US TO CONTINUE WORKING ON JALOPY TO REFINE, ADD MORE CONTENT, IMPROVE QUALITY AND IMPLEMENT REQUESTS FROM THE COMMUNITY***

Navigate miles and miles of tyre changing, fuel burning, carburettor busting, mud clattering terrain, through night and day, rain and shine. Adapt to whatever the procedurally generated world of Jalopy can throw at you.

Upgrade, maintain and care for your Laika 601 Deluxe motor vehicle. Keep close attention to everything from the state of your tyres, the condition of your engine and even the space in your trunk. Repair each aspect of your scrappy little car and install unique upgrades to deal with the changing world. Everything from cargo weight to the condition of your carburettor will determine how your car performs on the open road.

The rise of capitalism brings an economical conundrum. Scavenge for scraps to make a small return of investment, or become a baron of the open road and smuggle contraband under the eyes of border patrols to make a sizable profit.

Developer Greg Pryjmachuk worked on the Formula 1 franchise from 2009 through to 2014. In late 2014, Greg began work on this new driving simulation featuring the fictional Laika 601 Deluxe car; reminiscent of the East German “Trabbie”, it will need much love and care to keep it going on this memorable road trip!
